The National League West, a division the Dodgers led by nine games just six weeks earlier, is tied once more. The Padres and Dodgers will play five more games against each other over the next nine days. "We had the right guy on the mound tonight," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Over the past few weeks, as the Dodgers' rotation has stabilized, Kershaw has tapped into another level. Kershaw featured a sharper-than-usual slider and allowed just two other baserunners while requiring only 76 pitches to complete 18 outs.
